Frequently Asked Questions
Can we book our reservation via email?- No. You must call to reserve as a credit card is required. We will not charge your
card unless you fail to show at your scheduled departure time, at which time you will then be shunned.
What happens if we show up late? - You better have enough beer for the rest of the group. During busy season, plan on
beach traffic slowing you down by up to 40 minutes. Arriving early is never a bad idea. We sail multiple sails per day. If you
don't make it on time, you most likely will miss your departure as I must keep on schedule. Its your responsibility to show on
time and traffic will not be an excuse.
If we show up early to the boat do we get better seats? - Nope. Arrive to the boat only a few minutes before your scheduled
time. Every seat is a good seat on a 6 passenger sailboat adventure.
Can we bring adult beverages on the boat? - Yes. Soft sided coolers preferred. Red wine or other staining beverages are
NOT allowed. If your cooler is large with wheels and handlebars, its too big and not allowed. Your captain enjoys diet Mt Dew.
Can we bring food aboard? - Yes. Your captain loves Subway on early day sails. Turkey on Italian with lettuce, tomato, green
pepper, banana pepper, oil & vinegar, mayo, salt and pepper. If you are hungry, bring food for yourself. Please, let's keep the
beautiful cushions beautiful by not bringing things that are greasy, drippy, or saucy.
Where do we go and how far? - The half day, 1/4 day, and sunset cruises sail mostly along Fort Myers Beach and in the
waters behind the lower end of Sanibel Island near the lighthouse. We are usually never farther than a few miles from shore
at any time. Your captain reserves the right to stay out much longer if he is having a good time.
If the weather is bad at the time of our scheduled sail, what happens? - If it is raining or the winds are sustained over 25 mph,
we will cancel the cruise and try to reschedule if possible. If during our cruise we have to come back early due to weather,
we will charge accordingly.
What is your cancellation policy?- 48 hours. If within 48 hours, 1/2 of your booking total price will be charged. If we cancel
because of weather, no charge to you.
We have more than 6 people, can we still book your boat? No. 6 Maximum as per Coast Guard regulations.
We would like to go topless, can we book a private cruise?- Yes. We will however get a little farther offshore away from
boating traffic. The captain is married and reserves the right to keep his sunglasses and clothes on. :-)
Do we see dolphins? - We see dolphins 90% of the time but cannot guarantee it. Barking like a dog or monkey sounds do
attract dolphins.
Can we swim in the ocean?- We don't typically swim. We do on occasion in the hot summer months, when the wind stops
blowing, allow you to swim only if all the guests aboard agree to. Yes, we have sharks in the Gulf. However, we have always
brought back the same number of persons we left with. Captain reserves the right to deny swimming due to conditions of
water and attitude of sea life.
My wife has motion sickness, will she get sick? There is no way to possibly know this. However, a sailboat has a much
smoother motion than a powerboat does and most people find it very enjoyable. The lack of exhaust fumes from a running
engine helps greatly. Out of thousands of passengers, the count is at 7 pukers.
What happens if there are Canadians on the boat? Canadians are for the most part safe to sail with. They tend to get a little
feisty at times, but are manageable. They do speak a secret language, but your captain has learned to understand them. It is
always best to never look a Canadian in the eye while sailing.
